Section 1837. Legislative findings

The legislature hereby finds that one of
  the  major  concerns  of  the  existing economy is the limited access to
  financing  assistance  of  businesses  and  services  that  support   or
  facilitate  employment  and economic development, but are not themselves
  directly involved in manufacturing or industrial production.
    It is the purpose of this subtitle to  encourage  the  development  of
  community   development  projects  that  promote  and  enhance  economic
  development by providing loans and loan guarantees at a reasonable cost.
